iPS-RPE cell viability and phenotype following hypoxic stress. (a) Immunohistochemistry images showing RPE cells treated with hypoxyprobe and antibody stained for probe detection. A competed antibody (background staining) was used as control. (b) Images showing iPS-RPE cells stained for HIF2 in normoxia and hypoxia conditions. Nuclei are counterstained with DAPI (blue). Scale bars, 25 μm (c) Western blot analysis showing up-regulation of HIF-1α following 24 hours  of hypoxic stress compared to non-stressed cells. N = 5 independent experiments *P < 0,05, t-test. Full-length blots are presented in Supplemental Fig. 3. (d) Representative FACS plots showing the viability of iPS-RPE cells following or not hypoxic stress using the Live/Dead assay. (e) Representative confocal images showing iPS-RPE phenotype following or not hypoxic stress. Cells were stained for: OTX2, Bestrophin, ZO-1, RPE65, EZRIN, CRALBP and Phalloidin. Scale bars, 25 μm.
